Mum went into a care home in December and I visit 3 times a week. She seems to have reverted back to being a child and I'm finding it really difficult to deal with. She blows raspberries, burps, giggles, talks about people (loudly!) and repeats things from cartoons constantly. She wants to giggle and laugh with me which is really sweet and I'm glad she's happy but I don't feel like laughing and joking. I'm heartbroken and want to spend time with mum as she was. I know that's not possible now.
There are only a couple of people with dementia at the home and I find it so embarrassing when we're around the other residents. I'm not enjoying mum's company at all at the moment, I wish I could just get over it.
Anyone else had experience of this?
